![]() Parking payment is for a full day, so after this short Chatsworth Hunting Tower walk, you could visit the Farmyard and Adventure Playground, or the House and Gardens ( tickets must be pre-booked online). It is free to walk around this section of the Chatsworth Estate, but you do need to pay for parking (£5). And there are of course trees to climb! Plus, now and again, you get glimpses of Chatsworth House along the way. The woodland itself can feel like a jungle in the summer months with it’s thick vegetation and abundance of bright flowers. This really is a magical Peak District walk for kids (and adults!) as you weave through Stand Wood to visit these landmarks. It’s an impressive sight, especially in wet weather. This high prospect tower can be seen for miles, and if your pockets are deep enough, you can even book to stay here! Then further along this walk is Sowter Stone Waterfall, which feeds down to the Chatsworth Aqueduct where four tall arches finish with another waterfall. Standing proud over the Chatsworth Estate and on the edge of Stand Wood is the Chatsworth Hunting Tower, built in the 1570s.
